Hey, it’s Dan. This very wet week is almost over. It’s Thursday.

In today’s CapCon, billionaire James Dolan quietly dropped $1 million into an anti-Hochul super PAC that has now started spending, the Medical Aid in Dying Act has survived what a federal judge called Thursday an “absurd legal challenge,” and Hochul is pitching a new state gun law.

Plus, in New Bills of Note, a state lawmaker is proposing that a state monitor be appointed for the Buffalo school district, which has had a rocky past few weeks.

Names in today’s CapCon: James Dolan, Kathy Hochul, Bruce Blakeman, Orelia E. Merchant, Donald J. Trump, Elise Stefanik, Bruce Blakeman, Richard St. Paul, Betty A. Rosa, Jonathan Rivera
